Hey Ahmed,

 

Please run a backtest on the portfolio EA, using the exact settings you’re trading with, and see if trades should have opened. Also, please check the journal for any errors. You can also screenshot the results and share them here so I can take a closer look.

 

Cheers,

Ilan

Hi Elia,

 

Do you mean that in the strategy tester you only see 1 trade, or only 1 EA opening multiple trades? Because you can only test 1 EA at a time in the tester. However, if you are only seeing one trade, please check to see that you have selected the correct date range, you have enough historical data loaded and you select ‘Open Prices Only’ as your modelling option.

 

Thanks,

Ilan

Hi Tsholo,

 

The EAs get updated monthly, generally. They will always be attached to the same lecture. Check back in during the first week of each month. Please note though, that if the EAs are still performing well, we do not update them.

 

Cheers,

Ilan

Hi Maarten,

Could you please share a screenshot of your journal, or download it an attach it to the chat so I can take a closer look.

Hey Ahmad,

 

Check out our VPS page, and give one those providers a try. On their plans, you can see how many MT4 or MT5 platforms will suit each option. https://sandbox.eatradingacademy.com/trading-vps/

Hi Tsholo,

 

A $100 is a very small account. The EAs were created and optimised with settings for a $10 000 account. I would suggest opening another account, or if you can, add additional funds to your existing account, to at least $1000, and adjust your lot sizes in the properties of the EA from 0.1 to 0.01.

Let me know if you need help with this.

 

Cheers,

Ilan

Greetings Traders,

We want to inform you about the substantial drawdown experienced by the Forex Gold Investor on Friday, April 12th. Following our direct communication with the developers, they are taking swift action to resolve this issue and are enhancing the EA with additional daily drawdown protections to prevent similar incidents in the future. Furthermore, Petko will be creating a video to discuss the drawdown in detail, which will be published on our YouTube channel in the coming days. It’s important to remember to trade all EAs with conservative lot sizes to manage risk effectively!.

Trade safe,

Ilan

Hey Michael,

 

Looks like a solid plan. It does seem however, that you are relying very heavily on USD, as it’s part of every pair. Try diversifying a little more with the currencies. So for example, using these currencies, add more pairs like EURAUD, EURGBP, AUDJPY, GBPJPYetc.

Good luck!

Hey Michael,

 

The EAs are identical for MT4 and MT5. When downloading them from EA Studio, we download an MT4 and MT5 version of the same strategy.

 

Cheers,

Hey Sion,

 

If it’s the FTMO Robot, which I believe it is, they should be on the chart when you load the EA.  Have you loaded all 8, and do you see the indicators, like this?:

Hey Sion,

 

Difficult to tell from the image above, without the indicators displaying. But, if it exited, it means the exit rule was triggered.

Cheers,

Hey Eric,

 

Yes, you can. You can use as many as you’re comfortable using, based on the criteria who select (profitable trades, profit factor, etc.). Just make sure you adjust the entry lots and risk settings to match the account size and number of EAs, so you don’t risk too much.

Cheers,

Ilan

Hi Ghiath,

If you run a backtest, do you see trades that would have opened? It sounds like all your settings are correct, and trades should be opening. I’d suggest running the backtest, saving the results and asking the broker why trades have not executed, when clearly, the backtest shows that they should have. Also, check your journal for any errors. Could be a connectivity issue with the broker’s sever.

 

Cheers,

Hi Emre,

This sounds like a problem with the broker or their server. Slippage maybe. Or it could be a problem with the auto trading. I’d suggest making sure your auto trading is enabled, you see the smiley face (or hat in the case of MT5) in the top right hand corner. If all settings are confirmed as correct, run a backtest. You will see trades that should have opened. Then contact the prop firm and enquire with them why the trades didn’t open, when they clearly should have according to the backtest. Also, check the journal for any errors.

Cheers,

Ilan

Hi Pranav,

 

This is probably due to the broker. Try running a backtest with a few brokers, and compare results.
